First mistake....we agreed to a reservation in "the back room." Do not go into "the back room." We were led completely out of the restaurant, down a hallway, and around to a room adjacent to the kitchen. Absolutely no ambiance in "the back room."
The food wasn't bad. Actually the specials sounded exquisite, but were priced in the $30-$40 range. Wine list was extensive, but basic wine by the glass was $10 or $11.
Caprese salad was average. Bread was fresh and warm, served with flavored butters. Tortellini and Penne Puttanesca were quite good, but eating this meal in a back room with no ambiance really ruined the whole experience.
Our server, and other waitstaff, were very friendly and helpful. But the drunk man seated at the table behind us didn't add anything positive to our experience.
This place could be better if they lowered prices and eliminated the back room.
